I wrote Star Trek fanfiction before there was an internet. Also Man from UNCLE, Alias Smith and Jones, more Star Trek, some Deryni and probably some others. If anyone tells you things were better in the old days, let me tell you-- I would have KILLED for a fanfic community.

Now I live in New Hampshire. I watch TV on my computer. My name is a pun on the only fairly good NH tool stone, mostly used by Archaic people although my particular variety was used by Paleo people ten thousand years ago.

My livejournal, which I very rarely use, is Rhyolight04; my AO3 name is Rhyolight; my Tumblr, where I am passeriformonthewing or more fannishly, Rhyolight [whose URL includes 'untilprovenguilypleasures'].

It may be relevant or not, but I am a middle-aged white divorced cis-woman with two former children who are now pushing 30. If you don't think it's relevant that I am a screaming social liberal, you aren't paying attention.

I have stolen someone named Xenakis' s (see Fanlore) Blanket Permission, because it seemed like a good Blanket Permission (can it be orange?) and PodFic Playpus (on Tumblr) said I must do this even if it is too much to hope for: "You do not need to ask my permission to remix, podfic, translate, create art for or create any secondary fanwork of any fanwork I have posted. Anything you produce in turn should feature a link back to my work and credit me by name. Please also share your work with me, so that I can properly flail at it and thank you :D"

Mycroft has always protected his younger brother, but there are some things he just can't control. Sherlock's relationship with John Watson is one of them. Set during the first two seasons of Sherlock, with all the spoilers that would entail.

"...he was completely overcome with the cold hard reality that this conversation was absolutely not about the books anymore." Castle and Beckett immerse themselves in Rook and Nikki's love life. Now rated M.

Lestrade becomes enmeshed in a blackmail case he's working, and has to turn to Sherlock for help. DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the main characters here, or the song lyrics. Warnings: sex, drug references, capture. Mild SPOILERS for A Study in Pink.

It's not so much that Jack can't die; it's more like he can't stay dead. Which means he gets to run into a certain cute young woman quite often, even if he doesn't remember her while he's alive. Not my characters. Part I of "Death Through the Fandoms".

Set towards the end of Season One, Rick and Kate investigate the death of a young man who has died in very odd circumstances, and it takes them into the strange underbelly of New York ... Please read, enjoy and review! NOW COMPLETE but there may be more.

Some of what John got up to while Sherlock was away (mostly canon compliant w S1& S2). Crossover with Ben Aaronovitch's Rivers of London stories; begins after Whispers Underground. Spoilers for first four books. You don't have to have read Ben Aaronovitch (John hasn't!) but you might really like to.

OTPBot wanted me to think about my OTP with a baby. Once the fandom wrote sweet little one-shots without angst. This is set in some such halcyon time, before Irene Adler. Pre-slash. Nothing here but bad language that will frighten the horses.

Six months after the fall, John and Harry celebrate Christmas, and Harry gives John a gift from the dead. This story will make more sense if you have read Advice for the Lovelorn, and Sand. Though both characters refer to conversations for which the other was not present, so you can possibly get by. You don't need to have read Recovery Position; ref made to Chh 14, 16.

There are many different ways to deal with stress or trauma. One of John's less unwholesome ways is writing. Sherlock has been home for months now, and things are settling out. A couple of small things that make more sense if you've read Recovery Position, but it stands alone. If at all.

Sherlock's voice came softly out of the gloom. "Who were you speaking to?" "When?" "When you said 'Please, God, let me live.'" It stands alone, but it may be taken as part of the Recovery Position universe or the Different Position universe (which encompasses Advice for the Lovelorn). It insisted on taking place after 'Hounds.'

Sherlock's been home about six weeks now, but he's still liminal. A very late Halloween fic, with a cameo from the Rivers of London universe. In the Recovery Position universe, though it teeters alone well enough. Sort of a sequel to Ofrenda , compliant with Series One and Two. Not compliant with Series Three. Slash goggles if you like.

Once upon a time, there was nothing... actually there was 150 years' worth, but it's traditional to use material you find lying around. I was thinking about house blessings, where in some traditions you recount the origin of the world, and how it might go in mine, these days. A duplex 221b

The FBI are in New York again and Kate's attention is caught by one of their consultants. This will make more sense if you're a fan of both Castle and Sherlock, but it's pretty straightforward. Notes at the end may help. Idiosyncratic tags: an Englishman in New York; Rick is such a fanboy; less-gratuitous Tolkien references than sometimes.

LetsWriteSherlock! Challenge 1: After a nearly disastrous case, Sherlock & John share a tense taxi ride back to Baker Street. With emotions running high, they finally arrive back at 221B, & then… Trying to find normal. "Emotions running high": These are English guys. Let's not be silly. May be read by itself or as 5th part of Recovery Position My first prompt fill ever.

Lestrade thinks John should be aware. John would really, really rather not be. Mention of homosexual relationship. Not part of the Recovery Position universe, unless you want it to be. Not much reason why not, really. NB: no disrespect is intended toward 15-year-old girls.

"What was it like, when you met him?" John Watson's first adventure with Sherlock Holmes, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Chaos. Low-angst, though the frame is post-Reichenbach. Recovery Position universe, but stands alone. Ensemble cast.

It was really not much help, as suicide notes go. There are pieces that don't make sense, once you can look at them. John Watson is not a stupid man, and neither is Greg Lestrade. Post-Reichenbach. Based on near total-immersion in the TheFinalProblem Tumblr; no guarantee I am applying her theories correctly and no intention of claiming her involvement

Exile makes you consider things you can usually avoid. Sherlock during the Great Hiatus, after the fall. Part of the 'Recovery Position' universe. I'm proposing a new short-form: 'Love you for a thousand words,' where love is expressed, one kind or another, but the word is not used, in 1 Kiloword.

In late autumn a young blogger's (John Watson's PA) thoughts lightly turn- well, not all that lightly, to thoughts of skulls. An entr'acte in the Recovery Position universe. Stands alone. Is probably self-indulgent of me.

If you are the last man standing, you have obligations. It would never do to shirk them. Someone needs to tell Mrs. Hudson. Entr'actes in the Recovery Position universe (Part 2), after Mouse and Men. Stands alone if you want it to.

An entr'acte in the Recovery Position Universe; a ripple in the Rivers of London universe, as John pulls himself somewhat closer back together and learns, or doesn't, that he's not alone at all. Stands alone.

"I don't like you," Harry tells him as they settle down with overpriced varietal coffees. "I don't care," Sherlock replies. "I'm in love with John." Not part of the 'Recovery Position' Universe. Stands alone, late second series.

Post-'Always': it may be happily-ever-for-awhile for some, but they leave a trail of battered, tired friends along the way. Spoilers for Season 4. Didn't know it'd continue. Real title: "Today is the First Day of the Rest of Your Always." Ensemble cast

Takes place immediately after Put My Heart in a Jar, etc. I promised fluff, trying to be an angst-free zone. K for now. Not my characters, they are Marlowe's, but if he hurts them anymore he should lose custody.

Takes place after the events of Put My Heart in a Jar. Not the fluff. Kate's had a lot to process since that night in the helicopter hangar. She may even learn to wait for backup. How would you explain her mother's case in 3K words or fewer? & to whom

Post "47 Seconds." I don't know if I am going to believe anything they write to try to get out of where they left us after that one. Neither the Rick nor the Kate I thought we had. This went to T because I mentioned sex.

Yet another take on the events of "A Deadly Game." Spoilers for "Boom", "Food to Die For." Probably not the same universe as Trebuchet and the rest, but maybe. I don't own Castle's characters; if I did, do you think they would they be in this pickle?

Word Count: 1055 Rating: K Spoiler alert: Takes place in the middle of Episode 10. Summary: Rick wonders about whether he should say anything to Kate. He knows perfectly well. Author's Notes:I am not really sure if it takes place in the same univers

Castle talks with Esposito. Beckett talks with Parish. No one persuades anyone of anything. AN: The real title should be, "Esposito Will Kill Him If He Tries Anything," if you remember the Very Secret Diaries. Thanks to hazel eyes 86 for beta!

Alexis asks her father if they can have a frank talk about sex. They both survive. I don't own them. Characters need to be free. First fic I have ever published, part of the first I have written in years and years. I hope you like it.
